2016 – a New Year and a new beginning?

After perhaps overindulging during the festive period we might begin the New Year with good intentions to ‘improve’ our lives. Maybe eat and drink less, stop smoking, exercise more, take up a hobby, keep in touch with friends etc. The problem can be that we try to change everything at once setting unrealistic or unachievable goals. Subsequent failure to achieve can quickly return us to our old ways and discourage trying anything else.

Instead of trying to change everything at once, decide what is the most important change you would like to make and set a realistic target. Focus on this target and achieving it will encourage you to move onto the next aspect of your life you would like to ‘improve’ with increased confidence of success.
